You Made It Weird #64: Dov Davidoff

Share:

DOV DAVIDOFF (Comedian! Actor! Writer! One of the most interesting people ever! Cool guy!) is one of Pete’s favorite YMIW guests ever: open, funny, thoughtful, badass. Good lord, this is a great one. I don’t want to even spoil anything here. Just get into it, you weirdos! It was the best. WHAT WAS IT, THE BEST? Yes. Just yes.

Dov mentioned Jeremy Benthem, George Bernard Shaw AND PPeter Singer?! Consider my mindz blown. I highly reccomend that everyone read Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation, a great take on the way people treat animals from the perspective of a renowned ethicist. (on Amazon.com perhaps.)

WOW Pete Holmes injects too much of himself into this so-called interview. He’s gotta listen to his guest more. Too bad, cos Dov is someone who has a lot of meaningful stuff to say. i am a great fan of Dov but i could only listen to about six minutes before i turned it off.

Dang, Dov sounds a bit like Willem Dafoe. This episode is one of my favorites in the past month; the array of topics is great.

On the whole sports thing– silly, silly tribalism. “HEY I WATCH THIS THING THAT REPRESENTS MANLINESS. YOU DO TOO?! DOOOOD” Having been in Boston for just under a year now, I’ve come to despise Red Sox fans. SO much. From watching the fanaticism, I’ve come to the same thoughts of “this is so… pointless. The world doesn’t change if they win or lose.” I mean, I guess there’s always the chance of fights or what have you, but yeah. People get so excited over basically nothing. Not a fan.

I could ramble about the sex talk but it seems people already had their panties in a bunch so I’m just going to avoid that…

And Pete! Your inner hippy is showing- talking about wheat grass and how terrible factory farming is. I dig it.

Abe’s mother was undoubtedly a whore. Hey Abe, the majority of us like to hear comics make uncensored jokes. Stop trying to bully and go elsewhere if you don’t like it. I hear TED has a *yawn* fascinating podcast that I’m sure is PC enough for your pussy-ass sensibilities. I’m sure Pat and Betty both had a better sense of humor than you. Take your stinky vag elsewhere.

While I always find his story interesting, I came back from this episode with a much greater appreciation of Dov than after listening to his WTF. What an intelligent, articulate and thoughtful dude (okay, I’ll stop now). Great episode!
Pete- I thought of this article I read the other day when you were talking about how easily getting sex comes to the character Don Draper. You pretty much nailed the reality of it.http://thenewinquiry.com/features/why-we-love-sociopaths/

This was hilarious to listen to because I’ve heard Dov’s episode of WTF and already knew a lot of the basics covered here. It was great to re-experience Dov’s wildly interesting story through someone who had no idea what was coming. Fantastic!
